Just seen the steel frame partition on the screwfix site -
I'm fed up of standard wood stud walls, as they are so material and time intensive, however the steel wall idea looks interesting, and I know that they do it a lot more on the continent.
Has anybody got any views on this here?
Does anybody know who else might supply a steel wall system other than screwfix?

They are more common here as well. They've taken over from the old timber stud systems many years ago, but they still can't be used as supporting structures the same as timber ones.

They're just as good as a timber stud wall from the experience I've had with them, which isn't much. I've seen them appearing on quite a few larger building projects that I've been on, and in one or two domestics too.
Builders merchants would be a good start.
Our house built in 2000 has all the partition walls built with this steel studding. Easy to locate using a detector, to screw shelves and other fixings in to, using hollow wall anchors. Also have holes in so easy (well easier than wood) to run cables along if moving/adding sockets/switches.
When I opened up the space under the stairs, for an extra cupboard, just cut through using an angle grinder.
